The hotel

Overlooking the beautiful bay of Grand Baie, the Veranda Grand Baie Hotel & Spa is bursting with Creole charm and is ideally located for exploring the nearby restaurants, bars and shops. All rooms have been sumptuously decorated with cool, soothing tones and are dotted amongst the grounds. Enjoy a pre-dinner drink from your private balcony or terrace, admiring stunning views of the surrounding gardens or swimming pool. Water sports are, of course, in ample supply. Windsurfing, kayaking, snorkelling and pedal boats are complimentary, as is a glass-bottom boat ride so you can admire life below the waves without getting wet! Pay a bit extra and you can join PADI qualified instructors on diving expeditions and set sail on the resorts catamaran for an exciting excursion. The Kids & Teens kiosk will keep little ones entertained with a whole range of exciting activities. There’s also the delightful Seven Colours Spa should a spot of pampering, well-deserved no doubt, appeal. Le Food Comptoir serves a delicious range of local dishes as well as more international favourites. Lazy Lobster, set right beside the ocean, is more suited to special occasions, taking you on a culinary journey you’ll never forget.

We had a wonderful honeymoon dinner at the lazy lobster restaurant at Veranda Grand Baie during our stay. We were greeted by all of the staff including Divesh the chef to explain what we will be having for dinner. Our meals were extraordinary, starting with smoked marlin salad, beautifully presented, a local pumpkin soup, dorado fish with tiger prawn for me and fillet of beef with tiger prawn for my husband, ending with a humungous delicious chocolate mousse which we were too full to finish! Everything was created so beautifully and generous portions. Akilesh our waiter was so sweet, he served us our drinks and food so attentively and made us laugh and smile whilst doing so. The rest of the team were amazing (I’m sorry I don’t remember all the names!) but we are very grateful and would recommend this restaurant to try out during your stay! Thank you x Read less
